I don't think there will be any surprises. I found a really great shop that is mere steps away. The owner sent one of his guys with me in the white pickup along with his Maryland transporter tag to come to my house. Slapped the plate on it and he drove it to the shop. I hope!
I'm having them do an alignment and the a arm ball joint.

The t case shift bracket for the slushbox fits the existing hole with plenty of swing to lock the center diff. If you have the proper parts it is very clean.[/QUOTE]

Is this what you mean by the "shift bracket"? Sorry, but I'm just not familiar with this swap. The other issue is that I'm doing an R-380/LT-230 install and don't know if that changes things. The transmission and transfer case are mounted and in place but before I start cutting the center console, I wanted to see if I could take something off the zf/Borg warner...put it on the R-380/LT-230 and save myself the fear of ruining a near perfect center console.

Oh. Yeah, it does. RRC was, to my knowledge, only sold here in the USA with an auto box. They still sold the manual in the UK thru the model runout. The R380 wasn't installed until 1994.5-95 model year. before then it was the LT77s and Borg Warner TC. The LT230 was last used in 1988 with the LT77. You may be able to find a proper console for the combo you're doing on ebay.uk
